"Mathematics is an activity-something we do-not just something inert that we study. This rich collection begins from that premise to explore the various social influences, institutional forces and lived realities that shape and mould the study and practice of mathematics, and are moulded by it in turn.These twenty-one essays explore questions of mathematics as a topic of philosophy, but also the nature and purpose of mathematics education and the…
Pedagogical Imagination in Mathematics Teacher Education
After providing a brief summary of what has already been said about pedagogical imagination, data are presented showing how prospective mathematics teachers can become engaged in such imaginations. With reference to this data, the notion of pedagogical imagination is explored further by relating it to dialogue, social justice, mathematics, hope, and sociological imagination. To illustrate these relationships, different episodes from the data are …
Concerns of Critical Mathematics Education - and of Ethnomathematics
Critical mathematics education can be characterized by its many concerns. I refer here to four of them connected to social justice and politics, power and mathematics, students' future possibilities, and the socio-political structuring of education, all of which are interrelated and integrated. Those concerns are shared by much work done in ethnomathematics. However, to what extent an ethnomathematical study turns critical must be discussed in ev…
Mathematics and Ethics
In the philosophy of mathematics, ontological and epistemological questions have been discussed for centuries. These two set of questions span out a two-dimensional philosophy of mathematics. I find it important to establish a four dimensional philosophy of mathematics by adding two more dimensions, namely a sociological and an ethical dimension. The sociological dimension addresses the social formation of mathematics, while the ethical dimension…
Affirmative actions in terms of special rights
In this article, the authors interpret affirmative actions with reference to structural violence, which is accompanied by legitimizing discourses that tend to make discrimination appear natural and unquestionable. They illustrate the extension of structural violence in Brazilian society with particular reference to access to higher education. It has been common to talk about some groups of students as having special needs. However, the authors se…
